Not really drying up.

Radio Shack is now selling
the SR-3 under it's own RS brandname. Available
in any RS store. Forget the model number but you'll
recognize it when you see it on the shelf. Still has that
quirky on/off pushbutton on the top left and the classsic
big slide-rule dial.

Looks can be deceiving. I believe the current R Shack offering is the
12-903, successor to the 12-603. They may look similar in ways to the
SR3 - but they are different radios. The RS version is totally deaf
above 1600 and just plain hard of hearing below that. Dial accuracy
better though.

I have had the 603, 903 and the GE SR2 and SR3.
I returned the 903 as it was horrible....every sample I tried. Stick
with the SR3 - even with some of its shortcomings it is far superior
to the RS model.

Radio Shack's model is NOT the same. The GE has a 6 1/2 inch speaker
while the Radio Shack has a 5 inch speaker. NOT THE SAME.

First, I have no idea what's in the Radio Shack radios.

But one of the things they are doing, at least here in Canada, is
playing with brands. Remember those Radio Shack Minimu-7 speakers?
Well, it would have been a slightly later model, because it was
replaced by a later model years ago. But they've been branded as RCA,
I got a pair at a great price when they were cleared out a few years ago,
and the latest flyer has the same speakers under a new name, "Centrios".
There might have been some other brand along the way. When it was under
the RCA brand, it carried the same model number as when it was Radio Shack.

So while what you say is probably likely, I wouldn't completely rule out
that Radio Shack is carrying the real Superradio at this point under a
different brand. After all, GE doesn't really exist anymore except
as a name passed around, just like my RCA CD changer I got a few years back,
so why not make the radio pass under a different name if it sells more?

MB,

FYI - The GE Superadio III and the RadioShack 'Clone' are NOT
the same radio on the inside where it counts [.]

Is the battery life on the Grundig/Tecsun as good as the SR3? My GE is
still running on the same set of batteries I put in before the Y2K scare,
and I use it on an almost daily basis as a "getting ready for work" radio in
the mornings.

The better radio that is now available to up-grade and replace the
GE Superadio III is the Grundig S350 "Super Radio" Tecsun BCL-2000.

Just one more example of Radio Shack coming out with a similar-looking
piece of equipment making people "think" it is the same as the
original one. My first clue was the 5 inch speaker in the RS versus
the 6 1/2 inch in the GE. Just how many people get fooled by these
look-a-likes is the reason Radio Shack, and others, continue to come
out with "similar-looking" products.
